History Channel Shows - "The Presidents," "Inside the Presidency" |
|
In lieu of watching the inaugral proceedings over the past few days, I found some interesting shows on the History Channel. Some here might be interested in these.
One was a series of shows titled "The Presidents." Each show of the series covered a period of history and presented a brief bio and analysis of each of our county's presidents and their terms of office. I think the series will be re-broadcast this coming week. Check it out if you get a chance, I learned quite a few things from it.
Then there was "Inside the Presidency with Bob Woodward" in which he interviewed and gave an analysis of each of the currently living presidents (except GWB - for the current term, Dick Cheney substituted (like, is this like real life or what???)). Anyway, it was interesting and I learned some stuff.

I did notice that when they got to dubya, they made a joke out of the hanging chads in Florida. They also noted that he had been re-elected at the time of taping, but said nothing of any controversy.

6. I watched most of these programs |
|
interesting stuff. I felt that as they got into modern times with more partisan feelings they did a fair job of being fair and balanced, pardon the expression. I found it interesting that when they were covering the first Bush Presidency they seemed to rub it in that he built a large coalition for the Gulf War, a master diplomat if not the best for modern Presidents, an internationalist, and never wanted to take Baghdad as an option. I felt they were purposely emphasizing that to say, "this is how it should be done"

7. also in the Woodward interview |

Ford disagreed with Bush about spreading freedom around the world. He was the last rational republican President. and Carter shined, what a true man of morales. a true christian President, a humble man.
